The drawing shows a preliminary version of the entrance and tropical conservatory buildings at the Denver Botanic Gardens, 1005 York Street, Cheesman Park neighborhood, Denver, Colorado, 1961. In contrast to the modified catenary arch eventually used in the construction of the conservatory, this drawing suggests that a three pin or modified tudor glulam (structural glued laminated timber) arch may have been intially considered and rejected.
